Pots Growing, If Not Action

board where Tim Vance bet $100k and Soren Jensen called. The turn was the J
and this time Vance checked, leaving Jensen to bet $160k. Vance flat-called and the river fell the 7
. Both players checked and Vance's deuce-four two pair was better than Jensen's jack, garnering him another decent pot and increasing his slight lead.

More of the Same
2 years ago
This train wreck is still rolling, barely. We just saw a perfect example of why Tim Vance needs to ramp up the aggression. Soren limped from the button and Vance used his option to raise to $150,000. This was the only good thing he did in the hand. The flop came down 8
7
2
and Vance checked. Mistake No. 1.
Jensen checked and the T
hit the turn. Vance checked again. Mistake No. 2. Jensen checked behind and the river was the J
. Two more checks and Vance shows A-7, no club, for the flopped second pair. Jensen shows 3-5 and the pot is shipped to Vance. We don't really care that Tim ended up taking the pot down; he did nothing to earn it. Flopping a hand like second pair heads-up after raising pre-flop deserves a continuation bet. Just close your eyes and start firing!

All-In!
2 years ago
The biggest action of the heads-up match so far was really not much action at all. We started with a limped pot and Soren Jensen check-calling a $140k Tim Vance bet on the 10
8
2
flop.
The turn brought the 9
flop and when Jensen bet out $200k, Vance wasted little time shoving. No showdown in Copenhagen yet though as Jensen mucked and Vance dragged the pot. He's chipping away and now has the chip lead for the first time since heads-up started.

Madness I Say!
2 years ago
This heads-up match has deteriorated to the point that it can hardly be called a match at all. Soren Jensen's play has been so transparent we just can't understand why Tim Vance doesn't start betting and raising. Vance opened the last pot and got a flat-call from Soren. The flop came down K
Q
7
and Jensen led out for $200,000.
This bet alone should have set the alarm bells ringing in Tim's ears, since Soren seems to only do anything when he has a monster. Vance called anyway and the 2
hit the turn. Jensen bet out again, which pretty much means he has the nuts. Vance took a long time to release his hand and Jensen showed K-7 for two pair. Big surprise!
The surreality of this match became apparent at the end of the hand when Jensen began some sort of disco-dance and Vance started pacing frenetically back and forth patting himself on the back (literally) for his brilliant decision.

WTF? Is This Not Scandinavia?
2 years ago
We'd been told all sorts of things about the aggression of the Scandinavians but we aren't seeing much of anything from native Dane Soren Jensen. While both players are being unbelievably timid at least Vance is betting at the occasional pot.
Jensen seems to only play when he has a premium hand but has managed to take down a few pots that have been checked all the way to the river. The last hand we saw was checked down with Vance in position and the pot was shipped to Jensen's jack-high. Seriously guys, it's called betting, try to keep up.

Limp, Re-Raise!
2 years ago
After limping in, Soren Jensen had to face another in a series of small raises from Tim Vance, but instead of calling or folding, this time he re-raised. Facing a $220k bet, Vance asked how big his ace was and Jensen said he felt it was bigger than Vance's small pair.
Vance eventually laid it down and Soren showed cowboys. Showing yet another big hand after he raises, Jensen's created an image as a tight-aggressive player and if Vance is paying attention, he might be able to use that to his advantage.

Check!
2 years ago
Check is about all we've seen either player do in the last while. Besides the odd small pre-flop raises, we've already seen four hands get checked down to showdown.
With these two grinders we might need a loaded deck to finish this. Either that or the blinds will get so big they'll have to let the luck of the cards decide the winner.
